26. What did you do before adult for work? How many jobs did you have before adult?

Oh this is such a great question , however there were so many I cannot even count them!

Some of my highlights include however

Being the youngest sales rep in the history of a Men's Clothing Store named Gentry Shops in Ohio

I ran concert venues in Cleveland, Ohio
Peabody's Down UNder in the Flats as well as The Empire Concert club

Back in 88-90

We did shows like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Isley Bros, Tracy Chapman, NIN, Enuff ZNuff- GWAR , Brooks and Dunne
to Mary Anne Faithful and Johnny Winter-
Every night we had a different live show with bands that ran the gamut form Blues- ( John Lee Hooker) to Rock Tommy Cochrane, Robbie Krieger, Eric Burdon, you name them we booked them.

I really enjoyed working with Lloyd Cole, Elvis Costello, Henry Rollins, Trent Reznor, and others
When I went to work for Playhouse Sq I did a "runner" job whee I'd get whatever it was the artists wanted- there I worked with the Smothers Bros- to Nelson
I enjoyed working with Judy Collins and Liza Minelli- great people!

I then went on to being a strip club DJ/ manager working for every strip club in cleveland- I made a lot of cash and had a lot of connections with concerts and such - so I always had a hottie on my arm everywhere I went.

That lifestyle was a rough one for me- as I never saw daylight and considered myself a Vampire who smelled of "sweat soaked dollar bills" some of them smelled like FDS spray as well..yuck!

My brother and I started many successful MLM 's and sold pictures and Dri-Wash and Guard ( a waterless car wash) door to door
I feel to this day that was my formal education to the world of hustling.

Other highlights were working for radio stations WNCX 98.5 in Cleveland
91X in San Diego
as well as 94.1 The Eagle in San Diego.

I worked as an A&R guy fro Trevel Productions in Cleveland as well - i was the token white boy working in the hood for artists like LEVERT, the O'Jays ( Rock and Roll Hall of Famers), Men at Large, and the Rude Boys ( Grammy Award Winners)

I also helped to raise a lot of money to have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum built in the "Home Of Rock and Roll" Cleveland Ohio

It's true that the phrase " Rock and Roll" was coined in Cleveland in Public Square at a Record Store that my father used to work at called, Record Rendezvous- the owner's name was Leo Mintz and was my best friends grandfather- and he had his dear friend and Cleveland DJ there all the time Alan Freed- It ws he that coined the name, Rock And Roll.

I went on to manage many bands in Cleveland like the "Yielding" and was at the very first show NIN ever played- Trent Reznor ws a good friend back in the day-
Worked with Trent closely
I knew Trent when he was cleaning toilets and we would jam together along with my bass player at the time and best friend, Mackay Gazdak- (RIP)

I managed Reggae Legend, EEK A MOUSE along with my brother D$ in San Diego.

I also worked as a Sales Mgr for Reynolds Metals Company in their Home Construction Products Division

I taught "Tin Men" how to sell siding and vinyl replacemt windows in the home- It was a great paying job with a company car and benefits that were incredible for a 22 yr old kid.

I worked for AT&T selling their CLEC service - or "local loop" I was a special accounts rep and was trained in Princeton , NJ
My office was in San Diego- HATED THAT JOB!

I was a corporate recruiter for a month
HATED THAT

Sold cars for three weeks- selling a car on my first day out of training at FULL STICKER PRICE!!!
made my full draw for the month and-
I quit a week after that- I hated waiting for people to come see me- when I was so used to seeing people!

I think overall, if I had to stick with one thing I used to do, the rest of my life...

It would have to be concert promotion. It has always been my number one love- and I am such a music enthusiast playing guitar and having a musical ear I really should follow that dream more-

I also have enjoyed comedy all of my life- and it's something I am going to be practicing a lot more on-

With half of you morons on this board as my material, I should do alright
:-))
